>> finally election day and we are live in new hampshire with chris matthews, host of "hardball" and author of the terrific buy iography, "jack kennedy." what does mitt romney need to do tonight? does he need to win or does he need a big win to chip away at that narrative? >> i think he needs 35 partie%. the bar keeps changing, but 35 sounds right given where he's been. >> he's in a battle for second. that's what everybody is talking about. paul and gingrich going for santorum. who has the advantage? >> it's very hard. i looked at the daily by suffolk today, and they're all bunched today. paul is a bit ahead of the others. i think the undecided as 15%, i think most of them would go for huntsman. so i'm saying in the spirit of new hampshire being a very flimsy state, a very new england state, that huntsman will come in second here and beat paul. that's my hunch, and i think it would be good for the race to create that kind of excitement. >> if he doesn't finish second, is he out? >> well, i don't think he's achieved his purpose. he's put everything in this state, and if he can do bett

chris matthews is next. >>> bodyguard of lies. let's play "hardball." good evening. i'm chris matthews in tampa. our channel side location, just outside of the tampa bay times forum. the site of this year's republican national convention. let me start with the assault here in tampa against the president. it is not enough that people resent the economy, i guess. they need to resent barack obama personally. this must explain the slippery negative case that the romney people are making towards him not just obama himself on his record but the man and he is siphoning off many of the benefits to pay for his health care program. he is letting welfare recipients out of their work requirement and disparaging the work ethic of business people. what kwind had a kind of a person would want to do that to let people sit home and collect checks? what kind of politics would skim health been futures from hard-working seniors to fund the working poor? well, the romney team wants to think that -- barack obama is that kind of guy. and that's the strategy in place here. and it may be pen
